The first batch of 12 double decker buses are officially roaming Cairo’s streets, Al Borsa reports. The MAN-Kastour buses, which cost around EGP 28 mn, hold 71 seats apiece — with the majority of the seats available on the top deck. The Public Transport Authority had signed a EGP 35 mn agreement last year to get 13 buses on Cairo’s streets as a replacement for the now-retired Heliopolis tram, and expects to bring the next batch of 28 buses by year’s end. Tickets will retail for EGP 5.
